As much as I understand Racer`s point`s bud.The fact is.."That`s your skinning style". I`d much rather see "your own"(take on a skin)..tbh.. It`s all well and good following tut`s by other artist`s,but you CANNOT BEAT individuality...Ie..If everyone skinned like racer,It would become a tad boring.(No offence intended…
1. UE4 uses 1's 5's 10's 50's 100's, they moved away from powers of 2 for some reason, UE3 was 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. 3. Multiple materials means multiple draw calls, you really want to keep that number down.
